I can confirm that Paul Cohn had a keen interest in categories.
As Editor of the L.M.S. Mathematical Monographs series in the 1970s,
he was responsible for accepting my first topos theory book for
publication in that series, and he didn't just rely on referees
-- he really wanted to understand for himself what the book
was about.
